Germany is fun because it feels fast but it also doesn't really feel very rally like because it is all tarmac from memory. Finland is just all fun!

loving hell i looked at the default setup for the delta S4 and no wonder i have so much understeer.. what the hell? also my "setup" is more of a "idk what the gently caress im doin" but I just think that the default shouldn't be so biased to one side on some of those settings. It feels a bit better now that I've adjusted it, but maybe i am fooling myself

On the dirt stream last night they said that they were in final testing for a FFB/tuning workshop style system for sharing profiles, hopefully that demystifies it some.

So my first rally with the Delta S4 is complete. It was on Greece, and the 1st stage ended up putting me way in the back, and through the rest of the stages i got more and more comfortable, and on the last stage (10 km) i actually ended up being 5 seconds faster than the closest person even though i went off the road twice. Ended overall in 3rd place with +5 minutes  . drat those first few stages.next location.. Monte Carlo. gently caress

Skwee posted:loving hell i looked at the default setup for the delta S4 and no wonder i have so much understeer.. what the hell? It really depends on the car, but I'd recommend leaving things default at first since most of them are fairly good rather than tampering with them just because "seems too biased." Usually fairly small tweaks can fix most cars' maladies when you discover them. There's some decent guides on tuning in the steam guides section for Dirt Rally if you want to know more about not just pushing sliders around and hoping for the best (although sometimes it still ends up that way).

Stratos has absurdly short wheelbase, which makes it handle unlike any other car in the game. It's also by far the fastest of the 70's cars. Just don't touch the handbrake, ever.

In my mind the Stratos is the most rewarding car in the game if you can get over the initial hump. Its so satisfying when you can make it swing its rear end out and not mow down a dozen spectators on corner exit.

You're not so much driving the Stratos but really making sure it doesn't try to leave the track to satisfy its unreal bloodlust for spectators and trees.

Counterpoint two: all the 70's cars are pretty good and, while I haven't tested it rigorously (the Steam guide where someone did... the Stratos is actually the slowest by a not insignificant margin  ), I'm reasonably confident the Stratos is not the fastest.*That said, the Lancia Stratos is a necessary experience; it's the only choice when you first get out of the weak little 60's cars and need to feel the power. Don't miss out on the Lancia Stratos experience! * My personal preferences being the Opel Kadett for tarmac and Fiat 131 for gravel (it eats bumps like they're nothing so it rarely gets unsettled which makes it faster despite being the weakest-in-class performance-wise).

Does anyone else feel like tires blow up too easily? I know I should get gud, but still, they get destroyed even by colliding with snow banks in Monaco with no previous abuse.

If you're not playing with every assist off (apart from clutch if you're on a controller or don't have one on you wheel, I guess), you're not playing the game.  And seriously, you only start learning pacenotes properly when you go no-HUD, at least that's my experience. Everything else is a distraction.

i never played with any assists besides automatic gearbox at the beginning, but now I use sequential. I have a clutch pedal but I don't use it cuz I am bad at all that foot poo poo since i've never driven a manual in real life, so I don't even have the movements down at regular speed so no way can I do that poo poo at racing speeds and not become completely distracted from actually pointing my car in the right direction. Also I use left foot braking, so it would be even more difficult trying to figure out all that switching between pedals poo poo and then also figuring out that heel-toe poo poo.

I have to wait a couple of months before I buy a wheel (using an xbone pad), but I switched over to manual in driving games a few months ago, and it's pretty great how quickly you pick it up, and how the driving becomes so much more immersive once you have control over the gears. Once I pick up a wheel, learning how to clutch will be a loving gauntlet, seeing as I don't even have a license (I've tried out wheels with high quality FFB before, so the transition will be easy enough in all other aspects), but the sim-feeling is what draws me to driving games nowadays, so I think it'll be fun.

I use paddle shift and I've set the clutch pedal on my G27 as the hand brake. Works quite well for me.

I feel like my issue would be less with the clutch and more with trying to learn to heel-toe the gas/brake while doing it. Looking into getting an entry-level wheel though, I'm thinking the Thrustmaster T-150 (no clutch pedal/shifter included) looks like a better bet for a good wheel than the G27 (probably be at a similar ~$200 price point during holiday sales) so I probably won't have to worry about it getting a wheel unless/until I decide to upgrade later to get better pedals/a shifter. * Is the only way to get to reverse with a sequential IRL to just rapid-drop all the way through? Seems hugely inconvenient/slow sometimes, not that one should be reversing frequently in a race car.

The ease of using manual also surprised me when I first started using it, though I only use manual with my wheel because if I'm playing with a gamepad I don't care about gearing. I still use auto-clutch though because I just can't get used to manual clutching or heel-toeing. I keep trying but most of the cars I drive with my wheel don't use the clutch anyway.

I'm starting to think I have an affinity for the least competitive (least-driven) vehicles, because there is no way that the lap I put down for this was fast.

One thing I do notice is in some cars when I am using automatic clutch it shifts rather slowly. I think those are the cars where you would be better off manually clutching.

Qmass posted:The 205 t16 now looks impossible to drive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJSGc3PTP3k Also: that's some serious rev limiter grinding. Feel like you could've gone faster (not necessarily a good thing  ) by not dropping down gears as much.Looking forward to getting back to Group B since I've been putting it off since they started doing the updated physics and I figured I'd wait until they did the pass before messing with them again. I've only done the 205 so I've got four whole cars left to experience (well, maybe three... might pass on the Audi since it seemed lame, relatively speaking, on a daily once upon a time compared to the others).
